CHITRAL: The Lotkoh road, which was damaged in Shasha due to flooding in a nullah a few weeks ago, was restored to vehicular traffic on Monday.
C&W executive engineer Usman Khan told this correspondent that a new track was built 500 metres away from the damaged portion. He said during the construction traffic was diverted to another place.
He said a stretch of the road at Shasha passing through a narrow area between mountains and the river was frequently blocked during summer when water level rose in the river.
He said heavy machinery had been put on the standby on the site to restore the road for traffic within shortest possible time to save the commuters from inconvenience.-Zahiruddin
